Raisin Boat Challenge #24 The USA/July 4th/Red, White and Blue

This month's challenge is to help you get ready for your 4th of July celebrations.  You could make an invitation, card for the troops, a table decoration, a banner, an art journal page, anything that you might like using the colors red, white and blue. Remember that it can be whatever you may need to help you celebrate! I Just remember to do some stamping.

Use any set you have (you don't have to limit your entry to Raisin Boat stamps), but if you use a Raisin Boat stamp set, it will count as two entries. That gives you twice the chance to win a FREE stamp set of your choice! You can enter as often as you like.

Remember you can rent or buy sets from Raisin Boat. No guilt in using a set for just one project, such as a challenge. We look forward to seeing what you make for those special people in your life.
